Accessibility is not implemented for JavaFX dialogs. This change is to implement the accessibility on windows platform.
Without this fix : On Windows platform, content of Dialog are not read by Windows Narrator or JAWS.
With this fix:
1. Windows narrator reads the dialog correctly
2. JAWS fails to read the header text. : This will be handled separately
3. Behavior of VoiceOver on MacOS remains unchanged : This will be handled separately.
Verification:
1. Run HelloAlert toy app, with fix.
2. Start Windows Narrator
3. Click on the different buttons to show different Dialogs
=> Observe that Narrator reads all the content correctly.
